Excellent work! I really enjoy your tutorials over a lot of the other ones I find. For a beginner yours show how it’s not perfect going down and it all blends masterfully in the end.
Now I imagine you have it on your desk ready to paint up, but one of the Greater Possessed and that venomcrawler would tidy up the CSM from Shadowspear.
Haha, Lucas, you could be in luck! I'm not sure I'll have time to get one of them done for next week, but there will be another vid I recorded a few weeks ago if I can't (still Shadowspear). The next CSM will be a Greater Possessed though! :)
I just finished building & priming my obliterators.... now time for some paint. This is my 2nd listening- thanks Rob!
Cheers Adam, I hope they're as useful second time through! Loved painting them, though they're massive and detailed miniatures! :)
Really superb job on that choas lad
Cheers Spacetoy, very much appreciated! :) They're wicked miniatures these, I was hoping for a standalone Obliterators kit to get a few more, but sadly none materialised!
Phenomenal job. I'll be using your tutorial to paint my Obliterators....all 4....lol
Cheers Broken, very much appreciated! :) They're such cool miniatures aren't they? So many awesome details on them! I was hoping for a multi-part plastic kit at some point... :-)
Hahahaha. Just ordered 2 obliterators.... thanks ‘pal’. Lol. I’m looking forward to painting & building these. I’ll be watching this tutorial on that day. Enjoy your weekend
Haha, cheers Adam, that's good to hear! :) They take a while to paint up, but they look stunning! :)
Personally I think you and Vince venturella are the 2 best painting tutorial videos yours the step by step break downs on how to paint specific models and Vince for showing the steps to achieve a certain look. I just want to thank you for the time and effort you put into you’re videos because they truly do help new hobbiest like myself and I’m sure many others accel in this wonderful hobby. Thanks again brother, paint on! 🤟
Cheers RIKy4life, very much appreciate! :) That's really nice to hear! Hopefully they'll continue to be useful as they keep going! :) I'd throw the horns back, but haven't got emojis on this keyboard! haha! :)
@@BrushandBoltgun thanks haha I’ve been watching this one religiously the past few days working on my obliterators ive done a lot of space marines and chaos space marines but not much stuff with that fused man machine skin so it’s really been pushing my hobby skills so far but I’m always up for a good challenge!
That's the spirit, even if it looks tricky give it a crack! :)
@@BrushandBoltgun yeah it’s what makes the hobby so much fun haha
The venomcrawler video helped a lot and I was super happy with the results. This is really helping with my obliterator so far but it's taking so long. Too much flesh!
Cheers Joe, very much appreciated! :-) Yeah, some of them take a LONG time to get all the sections done, the flesh on the obits covers a lot and is so detailed! :-)
Amazing work
Cheers Sahil,, very much appreciated! :-)
I tell you something mate and I mean it u have taught me how to paint my csm big thumbs up mate keep up the amazing work 👍 👏 👌 🙌
Cheers Alan, that's really great to hear! Thank you for watching. :-) Hope they've been teaching the Loyalists a thing or two! :)
I will be have my first game Wednesday night
Great stuff! Fingers crossed for a heretical victory! :-)
mate you're brilliant at painting, just thought i'd let you know i've been using your tutorials for my first paint job haha
Same here! 👍🏻
Cheers Mrfloward, very much appreciated! :). Ah that's great to hear, I'm glad you've found them useful and they helped! Are you painting Black Legion at the moment? :-)
Cheers Robertoxy, that's really great to hear! :) I hope they've been useful for you too! :-)
@@BrushandBoltgun yeah, just finished painting a terminator, it takes me hours because I want them perfect, but your tutorials really helped, so thanks again!
Perfect timing just about to start my oblits! Really nice job looks great ..... I'm going to copy to the best of my ability !
Ah, cheers Duppy man! Glad you like it! :). They're cracking models, eh? Looking forward to getting started on the other guy (also hoping they bring out a kit with more of the mad looking things in! )
Kick ass tutorial
Cheers Bluecloudandrew, much appreciated! :)
Very cool! Great figures too. Do you remember the older obliterators?? At the time they were ok, but now!? Wow. Of course now that I’ve watched this post, it means I’ll be ordering some obliterators from eBay soon... I’m a plastic crack addict, can’t help myself! Great tutorial
Cheers Adam, much appreciated. Yeah, the old ones were mad, I loved them, but couldn't get my head around why theylooked like they were creeping about! I cut the legs at each joint and reposed mine (some terrible greenstuffing!) so they were more upright and they looked ace. The new ones are something else though! Awesome minis. Hoping they bring out a kit for them soon.
Plastic crack addict? I hear ya, buddy! :-)
B’B- that’s a great use for green stuff! I have great ideas for green stuff but my hands won’t cooperate with what I see in my imagination! Hahahaha. The old obliterators DID have a scurrying look about them! I think the wargaming channels on YT are actually support groups for plastic crack addicts ..🤣😁
Haha, tell me about it! The closest I get to sculpting now is squeezing some plastic putty in any gaps that need filling and filing it down. Maybe one day I'll try (and fail) to sculpt something worthwhile :)
Support groups or enablers? ;)
I love your videos mate very well structured, sets you apart from the rest.
New sub
Cheers tcgdude707, very much appreciated! :-)
I’ll come back once my oblit are finished :P
Cheers Nicola, hope the vid is of use for you! :-)
The Brush & Boltgun Yes, very useful!
I can suggest my personal pov: you may consider to use a transition or text to communicate the watchers that you continued the steps off-camera.
Hi Nicola1337, not a problem, always happy with suggestions. I used to do it after every one but it quickly became repetitive and put a lot of people off (on a more detailed miniature it could be said about 40 times in one video). If you take it that every colour is continued after each clip you’ll not go wrong. :)
I enjoy your videos. They've really helped me in my painting. But I do wish that after each base color is applied, you'd so a slightly more detailed show of where they went, on the more detailed models. Especially larger models, such as your Venomcrawler tutorial.
Cheers the Wackokid1974, very much appreciated! :) I've been trying to remember to rotate the miniature after any layers like that so that it shows where the paint has been applied. Will keep trying to remember! :)
@@BrushandBoltgun Thank you for the reply. Can you paint up a Black Legion Forgefiend? Don't glue it to the base, so you can show the detail on it's underside.
Hopefully at some point, I don't own one at the moment but do want to get one. Which details is it you're wanting to see?
@@BrushandBoltgun Too be honest, it's the fleshy under belly with the cables going through it, like the 3 areas on the Venomcrawler. Most of the people I watch to learn painting say, "if you can't see it, don't paint it, but my OCD almost forces me too. I'll buy you one, if you give me a shout out on the video.
Cool! It's very detailed and deeply highlighted. But how to do 9 of them without burnout?
Cheers Sergey, very much appreciated! :) Wow, 9 could be quite the task. I'd probably break them up into 3s or a 4 and a 5, and then paint sections of them at a time (all the flesh, then paint something else, all the armour trim then something else, etc). :)
@@BrushandBoltgun thanks for the answer! Also, I want to ask, what would you change in the overall color scheme if the armor is Khorn red?
B&B- Another great tutorial. I've followed along with a number of your videos and my 2000 point Black Legion army is coming along very nicely. I have one suggestion for future tutorials, would it be possible to list the paints you are using at the start of the video. Presently what I do is kinda skip along through the video and jot down the paint list on a piece of scratch paper and then restart the video. I have most of the paints in the citadel line, but when I did Abaddon I noticed that I didn't have the Xeno purple paint needed for the sword. I had to stop and make a trip to GW. A quick preview of the paints required would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Hey there So Cal Astarte! Glad to hear you like them! :) Don't worry, there's a list beneath each video so you can get them there. I'm pretty certain that all the paints go into each list so they should be pretty accurate. :)
2000 points? Sweet! What have you gone for? I've not worked out my points yet, basically I'm on Shadowspear, a box of CSM, Terminators and Havocs, and two rhinos. Oh, and the Dark Apostle and Executioner. :)
Damn, I'm pretty thick, I can't believe I never noticed that before, how embarrassing. :( So my list is more fun than competitive, but still has some punch I think. I went double Battalion and one Spearhead. Battalion #1HQ- Abaddon , Lord of DiscordantTroops- 2 10-man cultist squad, 1 20-man cultist squad. Battalion #2 HQ- Master of Possession (with awesome looking flaming skulls complements of B&B), Obsidius MallexTroops- 3 5-man Chaos Space Marine Squads. Dedicated Transport- 2 Chaos Rhinos. Spearhead HQ- Warpsmith Heavy Support- Defiler, Havocs and 2 Obliterators. 2000 points on the nose, with 16 Command Points.
Don't sweat it man, I do stuff like that all the time! :)
Ah! That's a pretty sweet list. I've no idea how any of it plays, but looks wise, it's going to be a good force. I have a tendency to do infantry heavy forces, so this time thought some transports would break it up a bit :) 16CPs is nice though... I need to properly look into what I'm building up here! :)
I tend to just build what I think looks cool, and is fun to paint. I honestly, have had as much fun in games that I lost as games that I've won. Some of the silly super-competitive lists aesthetically look terrible. I'm looking forward to using the Master of Possession and new Oblits!
So Cal Astarte You and me both! Always stick with fluffy or fun lists. Even getting a panning is enjoyable with the right force. If it looks good and is fun to game with, that makes it all the better :)
About to paint these guys and then the 2 greater possesseds, do you have the other guides for painting the other obliterator and the other greater possessed?
Hey Rockkiller124, thanks for watching. I only did the one Obliterator for a video, but the other is a two part step by step on the blog: brushandboltgun.com/2019/07/14/how-to-paint-obliterators/ . I've not painted the other GP yet though, he's on my desk as we speak! :)
@@BrushandBoltgun I see, I will use this guide and thanks for sharing the link
What gw colour is equivalent to valaho German ? gray
Hey Dermot, many thanks for watching! I think the closest I've found is Eshin Grey, though it is a little bit lighter. Mixing a spot of black with it would probably get it a little nearer, but there's not much in it. :)
I notice that you use liberator gold as a base instead of retubuter armor. Is there a reason for that?
Hey Matthew, thanks for watching. :) I was looking at all the Black Legion pictures and imagery and the gold always looked lighter than with a Retributor Armour base. :) Liberator looks closer, but is a pain as it’s a lot thinner. :)
The paint list in the video description isn't correct. He uses paints not listed there.
He does that sometimes, the swine - hard to keep track of everything as a one man show. :) Hopefully it wasn’t too much of a pain for you! :) Thanks for watching! :)
@@BrushandBoltgun No, it's fine! I was being a bit grumpy lol. It's a good tutorial and I can manage with similar colours. It's a tricky model to paint!
It’s all good, we defo all have days like that! Haha! Hope everything’s mellowed a little for you. :)
Love the vid it's helping me paint my models you are a amazing teacher I have a question where did u get the model I can't find it on gw or forge world?
Cheers Jacob, very much appreciated! :)
It’s only available through one of the Chaos Space Marine battle force type boxes. I’ve been hoping for the oblits in a standalone box but they’ve not appeared so far. :)
would it be possible to use retributor armor instead of liberator gold for the trim?
Hey there Lonesome Wanderer, thanks for watching! :)
You can do, it'll just darken the armour trim a little, which shouldn't make too much difference. :)
@@BrushandBoltgun awesome, thanks. it's going to be my first minis that i'm painting so i don't have too many paints atm, i just bought the ones i thought i'd need to start my black legion start collecting box :)
Good call! They're good miniatures to start on as there's so many different bits to work on. Sing out if you need advice, and feel free to join the discord, there's quite a few hobbyists who can advise, and some spectacular painters. :)
Ever thought of using a bigger brush
Hey Ojthemighty, thanks for watching. :-) I tend to only use about three brushes unless it's a tank or something with a large surface area. For miniatures I prefer the Medium Layer brush or similar. :-)
I was wondering, what do you prefer for washing/cleaning your brushes? I use warm water & ‘the masters’ brush cleaning soap. Any suggestions for another type?
I'll level with you, Adam, I sometimes use a little bit of water, but I tend to clean them in my mouth. I'm not dead yet so it can't be too bad for me... ;)
how do you find brush cleaning soaps?
Hahahaha. Van Gogh used to eat his yellow paint in the hopes that it would make him happy!(true story) my oldest brother uses oil paint ( he’s a ‘regular ‘ artist) and he suggested I use ‘the masters’ brush soap. I have been using it for about a year and I’m very happy with results. It cleans even oil based paint too. I generally use warm water first, then soap , then rinse.
Maybe I should give the soap a try... I mean, I'm pretty sure spit doesn't clean them out as well... :-l haha
Hahahaha, hey man- if the spit method is working-maybe don’t mess with it? But I was really surprised how well that soap works. 😁
Hi, what's the best citadel paint for the flesh tone? Thanks
Hey there Enda, thanks for watching. :) It depends what colour you're going for I use everything from Dryad Bark through to Kislev Flesh, they all work well and give some great flesh tones. :)
@@BrushandBoltgun great thanks. A video on that would be great
where can i find these guys other then the starter set that comes with 2? I want more but cannot find them sold separately
Hey Kory, thanks for watching. You know, I’ve wondered the same thing. I thought they’d be released last year with the other CSM stuff but no joy so far. They looks ace so I’ve been waiting to get some more! Hopefully one day soon! :)
Hello there; I am currently starting to paint this, but I cannot find the 70.341 flesh base. This seems to be out of curriculation or isn't easily availble in my region. Is there any alternative you can recommend?
Hey there Metaladdictftw, thanks for watching. :) Any Flesh Colour will do it, so any you have will be fine. For a similar one I'd go with Cadian Fleshtone. :)

Is that a rating out of ten? :) Thanks for watching Mightyowl! :)
@@BrushandBoltgun no I give it a 10
